How to increase the efficiency of fiber laser cutting machine

Fiber laser cutting machine finds widespread application in the industrial areas, therefore, it can be used in numerous places. Herewith, in the industrial area, the efficiency of the fiber laser cutting machine plays an essential role because its absence influences the cutting process. Nevertheless, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the fiber laser system for cutting.

To be more precise, laser systems for cutting are widely applied in all fields of life. Numerous companies prefer using fiber laser cutting machines for a few years but their efficiency and cutting ability continue decreasing. The possible reason for the decrease in cutting performance is the influence of focus position on the cutting process. Herewith, the diameter of the focal spot has to be as tiny as possible to create a narrow slit. For instance, if the performance of the fiber laser system for cutting is decreased, the cutting speed of the focus position can be tuned. 

It should be noted that the cutting speed of the laser system has a direct connection with the laser beam power, the larger power leads to the higher cutting speed. Such properties as the distance between the workpiece and the nozzle also influence the effect. “Too far distance will cause energy waste, while too close distance will affect the dispersion of the splashed cutting products.” Usually, the proper distance of the laser beam is considered to be 0.8 m.

The thing is that the laser beam power of fiber laser cutting machines decreases that directly linked to the cutting performance. Moreover, inappropriate operation, long-term load production, long-term maintenance, etc. will result in the performance degradation of the fiber laser system for cutting, consequently, reducing effect discount. Thus, it is inescapable to avoid the performance decrease of the laser system cutting.

The potential solution for fiber lasers to avoid the decline includes:

  • Careful attention to the maintenance of cutting machines.

Since the processing time of fiber laser cutting machine is quite long, almost all their parts wear, therefore, its performance suffers and leads to frequent replacement of vulnerable parts, as well as cleaning of optical elements and regular oil of bearings to keep driving flexibility and machining precision.

  • Standardization of laser system cutting operation.

The fact is that fiber laser systems for cutting processes require the operation of specially qualified personnel. It is essential to correctly perform the sequence of the switch machine, to be familiar with the buttons of each switch panel, to correctly operate the fiber laser cutting machine, etc. Thus, the operation by professionals plays a crucial role in the normal operation of laser systems for cutting and also decreases the probability of safety accidents.
